GIT is actually fairly safe to use. You have to work quite hard to
exorcise history from the repository although granted most users don't
seem to be aware of the power of the reflog.

My point about ease of access for non core developers basically covers
anyone who wants to do a non trivial patch and not keep a whole diff
hanging around in uncomitted changes in their local copy of an SVN reo.
